CGiii Comment

Wow...what a performance! Bravo.

Mad, daft and beautifully subtle. But, underneath lies a magnificent, kind-hearted dream...alas, when dreams are shattered!?!

Emotional.


No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

"And it really will be as simple as that."

It's 1969. The American's haven't landed on the moon yet and in Northern Ireland, the political tensions are mounting. Noah, an idealistic inventor, has a unique yet naive idea. He believes it will unite the country's battling factions in a shared dream of progress, putting an end to the growing violence. His plan is to convince politicians, money men, religious figureheads and paramilitaries to help him get Northern Ireland to the moon.
